Joe Harrish still adheres to the core values he first embraced in the Air Force at age 19 - Integrity, Service Before Self and Excellence In All We Do. From self-described "humble beginnings," Joe has spent his entire life building meaningful relationships in the military and civilian community. He spent 22 highly-decorated years in active-duty in the Air Force where he won numerous awards at every level. One of his biggest accomplishments was being named the Air Force's Company Grade Officer of the Year for his entire career field. During the final decade of his military career, he knew he had a higher calling. He entered the financial services industry while he was still on active-duty, and he has spent two decades helping others change their financial futures. Now part of the team at Prime Capital Investment Advisors (PCIA), he is a fee-based financial advisor and fiduciary working with high net-worth individuals, upper management executives, medical professionals and business owners.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A fee-only financial planner in Kansas City is compensated solely by their clients, typically through hourly rates, flat fees, or a percentage of assets under management. This structure minimizes conflicts of interest, as they do not earn commissions from financial products. In contrast, other financial advisors may be fee-based or commission-only, earning their fee from product sales or a combination of fees and commissions. Choosing a fee-only financial planner in Kansas City ensures unbiased advice tailored to your financial goals, as they are not incentivized to recommend specific products and mandated to act in your best interest.

    Wealth management advisors in Kansas City provide comprehensive financial services, including investment management, retirement planning, tax strategies, estate planning, philanthropic giving, and risk management. They tailor their services to high-net-worth individuals, helping them grow and preserve their wealth. These advisors take a holistic approach to ensure their client's long-term financial security and growth.

    When meeting with a financial advisor in Kansas City for the first time, bring essential documents such as your recent tax returns, investment account statements, income and expense records, debt information (e.g., mortgage, credit cards), insurance policies, and details of your retirement accounts. Doing so enables your advisor to get a comprehensive view of your financial situation, allowing them to provide personalized recommendations.

    The frequency of meetings with your financial planner in Kansas City depends on your financial goals and life events. Generally, meeting at least once a year is recommended to review your financial plan and adjust investment strategies. However, if you are actively planning for retirement, experiencing significant life changes (e.g., marriage, inheritance, or career change), or engaging in complex wealth management in Kansas City, more frequent meetings either every quarter or 6 months are recommended. Regular communication ensures that your financial strategy stays aligned with your evolving needs.

    Clients in Kansas City may face unique financial challenges such as navigating Missouri and Kansas state tax laws, managing the cost of living in the city, and planning for property taxes. Additionally, business owners in Kansas City may require specialized wealth advisory services for succession planning and tax optimization. A knowledgeable financial advisor in Kansas City can help you navigate these challenges by developing tax-efficient investment strategies, optimizing retirement savings, and creating personalized financial plans tailored to the Kansas City economic landscape.

    Top financial planners in Kansas City take a proactive approach to updating financial plans. They regularly review your financial situation, including changes in income, expenses, or life events (e.g., marriage, divorce, inheritance, or retirement). Advisors use these updates to adjust investment strategies, tax plans, and retirement goals. For example, if you receive a significant windfall, a wealth management advisor in Kansas City will revise your investment portfolio and estate planning strategy to align with your new financial status. Doing so ensures your financial plan remains aligned with your needs and goals.

    Many wealth management firms in Kansas City specialize in serving high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), offering tailored services such as investment management, estate planning, and tax optimization. HNWIs also look for assistance with legacy planning, charitable giving, and asset protection. It is advised to look for the best financial advisors in Kansas City who have extensive experience and a proven track record in managing significant assets. They can help you preserve and grow your wealth while aligning your financial plan with your long-term goals.

    To find the best financial advisors in Kansas City, start by defining your financial goals, such as retirement planning, investment management, financial planning, or tax management. Look for advisors with recognized certifications, such as Certified Financial Planner (CFP) or Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). Consider using WiserAdvisor's free match tool, which connects you with pre-screened, qualified financial planners in Kansas City.

    Additionally, choose a fee-only financial planner in Kansas City if you prefer unbiased advice without conflict of interest. Finally, check online reviews and request client references to ensure you select an advisor with a strong reputation and proven success in helping clients attain their financial goals.
